Plaid Bunting! (fabric flags)

OK, one of those projects I've been meaning to try for YEARS and finally got around to.
Really is this easy:

1. Cut out triangle fabric--- yes you can freehand this- back to preschool, you know what a triangle is---I used pinking sheers (zig zag scissors) to avoid any finishing of the edges. Remember to iron flat.

2. Arrange a pattern (if you are using more than 1 type of fabric)

3. Sew the triangles onto a string, ribbon or, as I did---- in the fold of bias tape. Note I used a straight stitch at the ends to have a bit to tie, and then zig-zag stitch to capture the fabric in the sandwich.
